The banquet we attended was at the general's residence in the fortress. This not too arrogant and luxurious residence was filled with heavily armed soldiers, making it more like an office. After entering the gate, there was a long passage.
, there were serious and expressionless warriors on both sides. Just halfway through, Gong Zheng and Fei Lan came out to greet them at the same time. This Gong was the head of the Gong family and had been guarding the Berson Fortress for generations.
Gong Zheng's banquet only invited two guests, Han Na and Li Si. The other guests were all from the military. When he saw Gong Zheng coming out with a smile on his face, Han Na suddenly had a bad feeling. Han Na felt low.
The voice whispered in Li Si's ear: "I guess Gong Zheng probably wants to win over you. Li Si, what do you think?"
Of course Li Si knew what Han Na was worried about, and smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, now is the moment of national crisis. Whether I join the Earth Legion or the Person Guild, it is mainly to deal with the alien monsters, but, master, you are good to me.
, I will never forget it." But he was thinking secretly in his heart: Are you a little stingy? However, after all, Han Na was the first person to lead him into the ranks of Soul Fighters, and he also taught me a lot.
Li Si also didn't want to be a loser.
After saying a few words, Gong Zheng and Fei Lan had already walked up to them with smiles. Fei Lan introduced each other and chatted for a while. Gong Zheng kindly praised Li Si's performance on the battlefield and pulled him affectionately.
With his hand moving inside, Fei Lan accompanied Han Na, who was worried, and walked towards the hall one after another.
Walking into the hall, Li Si only then knew what a local emperor and a local rich man meant, and then he realized how shabby the Berson Guild was. A large amount of food was piled up on the dining table, and the exquisite and colorful food was dazzling. Fortunately, Mr. Li Si was an experienced person.
The person who is accustomed to grand scenes was not made to drool.
Gong Zheng couldn't stop praising Li Si in the banquet, and he simply praised Li Si as nothing in the sky or on earth. The more he praised, the faster Li Si's heart beat. After leaving school and wandering around outside, he had four years of experience.
With experience and being in a relatively complex entertainment venue, the more approachable Gong Zheng became, the more certain he became: There is more to come.
Until they were almost done eating and drinking, he didn't hear him get to the point. Li Si couldn't help but wonder, was he simply inviting him to dinner? Finally, after drinking a glass of after-dinner wine to rinse his mouth, Han Na was the first to express his intention to counterattack.
Gong Zheng frowned when he heard what he said, and said: "Master Han Na, your proposal is very good, but we have more than enough defense now, but not enough offense! The number of soul fighting masters is too small, and these Master Han Na also know that once
If the counterattack fails, I am worried that even the retreat will be lost. I am very much in favor of a once and for all solution. It is a pity that your general guild is not cooperating and has not sent anyone to support. The Berson Fortress is the eastern barrier of the empire. If it is lost,
, I don’t need to tell you the consequences of this, Master Han Na also knows it.”
Of course, Han Na knew what was going on. What Gong Zheng said was irrefutable. After hesitating for a moment, Han Na smiled and said, "You and I know what's going on here. Now people are in panic, and guilds everywhere are
It is because they are too busy to take care of themselves. The binding force of the General Guild is getting weaker and weaker, and the possibility of commanding a counterattack is not high. General Gong Zheng has been in Baisen City for many years. If this place is lost, almost the entire empire will be unsafe. Because he knows this
A little bit, so when the general recruited spirit fighters in the surrounding areas, I turned a blind eye, haha, extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times, and I am just waiting for the general to increase his strength as soon as possible so that he can eliminate the alien monsters as soon as possible."
Gong Zhengdao: "Yes, my base camp is in Berson, and no one hopes to keep it here more than me. Thanks to Master Han Na for his understanding, we should strengthen cooperation now, whether for the sake of the empire, the people, or ourselves.
He glanced at Fei Lan. Fei Lan understood and said: "Master Hanner, Mr. Li Si, you have worked hard the past few days. The general has prepared a wonderful dance performance for everyone." He stood up and made a gesture.
Please gesture.
Han Na said: "This... haha, General, Mr. Fei Lan, Han Na is getting old and is no longer interested in dancing and singing. Haha, and Li Si and I are preparing to reorganize the team, so we will leave first." Han Na is an experienced man.
, guessing that Gongzheng was starting to move, he quickly refused.
Gong Zheng smiled and said: "Master Han Na, as the vice-president of the Berson Guild, is of course busy, so I won't keep you here. Li Si left from our legion, haha, so he is not too busy to leave.
The general likes to make friends with young heroes the most. Mr. Li Si, you will not disappoint the general's good intentions, will you?"
Li Si didn't speak. At this time, he couldn't pretend to be dumb anymore. He laughed and said: "Of course, of course. It is one of the great joys in life to eat and drink well and watch beautiful women dance. Master Han Na
"How about you go back first and I'll sit down for a while." After that, he gave Han Na a wink to reassure him. Han Na had no choice but to leave, but he was worried in his heart. Li Si was only in his early twenties, young and inexperienced.
Gong Zheng is an old and cunning figure. His family has been guarding the eastern barrier of the empire in Berson for generations. He is like the local emperor here. He is worried that Li Si will not be able to defeat the old fox in the end and will be won over by him. But he is weak and weak.
There was nothing he could do, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only hope that Li Si would stand firm. He even made up his mind on the way back. If Gong Zheng really pulled Li Si over, he would immediately take away the guild people and give up on Person.
Under the guidance of Gong Zheng and Fei Lan, Li Si came to the side hall. After sitting down, Gong Zhengping dismissed the servant and said with a smile: "Mr. Li Si, I won't say any more polite words. There are no outsiders here. I don't like it."
Don’t beat around the bush, let’s get straight to the point.”
Although Gong Zheng was smiling, his expression clearly revealed a domineering aura. Li Si knew that only those who had been in power for a long time could have such aura. In his previous life, if he had seen such a dominant person, he would have only
It's okay to be groveling, but the past life of being inferior to others no longer exists. If you have to be like a coward in the next life, it would be better to die. That humble past life is gone! Don't look at people's faces anymore!
At this point, Li Si straightened his back and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "General, please speak clearly."
Gong Zheng nodded with satisfaction. He saw Li Si's demeanor was calm, unlike others who didn't even dare to take a breath when they saw him. In fact, usually superiors don't like people who are obedient and will look down on him. He is the kind of person who is neither humble nor arrogant.
Most appropriately and fortunately, Li Si did it.
What Li Si didn't know was that the commander of the Earth Legion and the Emperor of Bai Sentu was also known as the most powerful general in the empire. He had fought countless battles with the neighboring Faka Empire. He was born with supernatural power, and his arrows were all in vain, and his fighting style was even more...
Known for his toughness and brutality, he lost the battle with the Faka army and suffered heavy losses to Gong Zheng's troops. During the retreat, Gong Zheng became more and more angry and led a hundred elite guards to break away from the defeated army and detour to attack the Faka army at starry night.
In the rear, they killed over a thousand enemies and returned. The Faka army did not know the battle situation, so they thought they had fallen into a trap and ordered to retreat. In that battle, Gong Zheng ordered to kill the enemies, take their heads, and hang them on their horses. When they came back, only two of the one hundred guards were left.
There were more than a dozen people, all wounded and bleeding, but each of them carried more than a dozen heads on their horses. During this battle, Gong Zheng became famous. If there was a child within a hundred miles that could not stop crying at night, the adults would call him Gong Zheng.
Scare them off and it works every time.
He has a great reputation and strict military orders. Not to mention his subordinates, even his brother-in-law Fei Lan, who is a soul fighter, is very restrained in front of him.
Gong Zheng tried his best to put on an amiable and friendly attitude and said, "I heard that Mr. Li Si is a descendant of the Li clan, right?"
Li Si nodded and said: "Yes." This lie could not be exposed anyway, so Li Si agreed indifferently.
Gong Zhengdao: "What happened to your noble family is a very regrettable thing. Fortunately, Mr. Li Si still has the ability to summon souls. In recent years, Mr. Li Si must have experienced the ups and downs of the world! Now there is a good opportunity.
In front of you. Join the Earth Legion. What I promise you is glory and wealth. Although this is a bit vulgar, it is a benefit within reach. Now that the Soul Fighter Guild is falling apart and fighting for power, you should also know that they have too much time to take care of themselves.
, even Berson's war can be ignored. As for the Emperor of the Empire, he has also lost control of the country. In the future, the empire will definitely be divided into independent affairs, with many clans, and troubled times are coming! Having a strong backer will undoubtedly be
The wisest one, join us!" There was such strong confidence in his eyes that it was hard not to believe him. What was even more powerful was that he analyzed the future situation very rationally.
On the other hand, the imperial court and the Soul Fighter Guild seemed to have lost their restraint in this disaster, which also made people lose confidence. Li Si, who is familiar with five thousand years of Chinese history, knew that Gong Zheng's analysis was correct. Even if the alien monsters were destroyed in the future, the
In this case, the power of each country will also undergo earth-shaking changes. The most likely thing is that the emerging powers will break away from the constraints of the country, just like the situation when the Sui Dynasty fell into pieces after the death of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
The rebels and the clans each occupy one side of the force, and then fight against each other to cause trouble. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. The current situation is exactly the same.
Li Si snorted, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty the General's words have moved me a little bit. However, when people go to higher places, good birds choose trees to roost. Shouldn't Your Majesty the General also come up with something to prove his strength?"
Where’s the stuff?”
Gong Zheng laughed and said: "Quick words, young people are not pedantic at all, very good." He glanced at Fei Lan and said: "Actually, we have already bought a house in Luoyan Mountain in Mancheng, the eastern border of the empire.
Feng, with a base as a retreat, does Mr. Li Si feel more secure?"
Li Si had no idea about these place names. He asked with a little embarrassment: "Luoyan Mountain in Mancheng? General, can you elaborate?"
